Writing What You Know: the Facts of Your Life as the Inspiration for Your Fiction
In this workshop we'll examine the works of a number of authors to see where they used aspects of their&nbsp;lives and experiences to create dynamic and compelling&nbsp; stories. We'll discover what it takes to transform personal events into universal stories with a well-constructed plot, emotionally alive characters, and high stakes. Along the way, we'll discuss why the specific facts of an individual's life provide material that is rich with potential drama...or comedy!
A handout will be available and a Q &amp; A will follow.
Suzanne Trauth is the author of the suspense novel The First to Die, the Dodie O’Dell mystery series—Show Time, Time Out, Running out of Time, Just in Time, No More Time, and Killing Time—and What Remains of Love, an historical romance (Firebird, American Book Fest, Chanticleer book awards), as well as plays and non-fiction books. In her previous career, she spent many years as a university professor of theatre. When she is not writing, she coaches actors. She lives in Woodland Park, New Jersey.

Writing What You Know... A Writing Workshop with Suzanne Trauth

Join us for a virtual author chat with local author, Alex Rosen.&nbsp;<a href="https://waynepubliclibrary.libcal.com/event/17388923" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://waynepubliclibrary.libcal.com/event/17388923</a>
Alex Rosen is a writer of action-oriented sci-fi and fantasy, known for his strong character-driven plots, sharp humor, and an unflinching look at the darker corners of human nature. He began his craft on the fanfiction scene in 2011 and has remained an active contributor to the fanfiction community. These fan works, some of which have developed dedicated followings and documentation on sites like Tv Tropes, can be found under his internet handles Draconic Hero 20 and Draconic Hero 21 on Fanfiction dot net and Archive of Our Own.
He graduated in May of 2013 from Bloomsburg University where, while pursuing a degree unrelated to creative writing, he attributes much of what he's learned about fiction writing--outside of trial and error--to a single creative writing class he took there.
Rise of the Draconic Hero marks the beginning of Alex's professional career--and by his own word, neither his original fiction nor his fan projects are stopping anytime soon.
Rise of the Draconic Hero by Alex Rosen
Ryan Martin has always believed in doing the right thing—even if it means crossing the line to protect others.
After a deadly enemy forces him to flee home, Ryan is recruited by SASHA, an organization that handles threats beyond the reach of ordinary society. He believes he’s finally been given the chance to become the hero he always imagined he could be.
Instead, he discovers a world where justice is complicated, and morality refuses to divide itself neatly into heroes and villains.
Waiting for Ryan is also a reunion with Violet, the childhood friend he thought he’d lost forever. Shaped by manipulation and violence, Violet finds herself standing at the same crossroads as him.
Because in the America they live in, being a hero isn’t just about standing up for what’s right—it’s about how you stand up for it.

Estate planning is way too important to neglect. Do not trust non-attorneys or online services to handle your estate plan – the consequences may be dire. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

Berkeley College’s 11th annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Week event brings together student entrepreneurs and women- and minority-led community businesses to learn, connect, and turn ideas into action. This year’s theme, “The Smart Hustle: AI for Small Business,” will share best practices on how aspiring entrepreneurs can use AI in ways that are practical, accessible, and immediately useful – not as another technology buzzword, but as a tool that can help small business owners save time, reduce costs, improve marketing and operations, and compete more effectively. 
This event is open to students, alumni, and the community. Space is limited and registration is required. To learn more about sponsorships for our 2026 event, email <a href="mailto:KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu</a>.
